RIP Gene Hackman

[95coug]

Found dead at his home, along with his wife and dog. No foul play suspected.

I’ve occasionally had to check IMDB to see if he was still alive, since he stopped making movies 20 years ago, but he made some good ones. French Connection, Unforgiven, and of course Hoosiers - which is in almost everyone’s top 3 sports movies ever.

My wife was asking me what movies he was in and it was kind of funny (sad?) that the only four that I could think of at the time was French Connection, Superman, Hoosiers and Unforgiven. Once I pulled up his filmography, it's amazing to see all the movies that I had forgotten he was in.

Suspect carbon monoxide poisoning is the word. Hard to believe he was 95. Hoosiers was a great movie!

He was great in the Replacements as well. Pretty much any movie he was in made the movie that much better because of his "it" factor. The guy was just a natural.

Hmmmmmm, his wife and dog both died as well. I am having a hard time believing this was an accident but stranger things have happened.

Hackman was great as the "really good guy" (Hoosiers) and he was great as the "not so good guy" (Unforgiven, Absolute Power). I was "flipping around" my stream and watched "The Conversation" about 3 weeks ago. Hackman was one of the best. RIP

I even enjoyed him in The Quick and the Dead.

Yus, but the soundtrack sucked. Mandatory one star deduction. 80s riffs for a movie set in the 50s is almost unforgivable. That's all I have to say about that
